How many jackets do you own?

Would this imply that you may have a Vanson in size 42 you're considering selling? I told myself I wouldn't buy another for a while, yet had to ask.
I do, or I will. I’m on vacation with the fam, but I’ll be making room in the New Year. I don’t think I have any classic styles, but some of the discontinued patterns.
When I get home I’m planning on a clear out.

Enjoy the holiday man! I'd be interested, if you'd keep me posted :)

I only have two, unless you count varsity jackets. Because I just sold two.

But two more are on the way to me, and one more is in the process of being spec'd.

At the moment, I have about two dozen jackets with some in bags and the rest on the hanger which I actually wear. Most of these were acquired just over the past two years. Before that, I had maybe only 4 or 5.
Many of these jackets are vintage US military pieces with some being originals and the rest repros (WWII - Vietnam era items).

My favorite pieces to wear are my vintage M-51 field jacket(s), Bronson M-43 field jacket, Buzz Rickson tanker jacket I got during my trip to Japan, BR brown N-1 deck jacket, Bronson M-51 aggressor, and my Bronson M-421A flight jacket.

Unfortunately, my closet is pretty full now, so I've begun downsizing my collection to only what I wear most and my favorite pieces. I'm planning on cutting down to about 10-12 jackets since I tend to only alternate between 2-3 jackets a season. I figured the jackets I don't wear much are better off with someone who will actually wear them rather than just sitting in my closet all year, taking up space. I guess I realized that sometimes you don't need to physically own something to admire it.
